Книга Иисуса Навина 8
1 И рече Господь ко Иисусу: не бойся, ниже ужасайся: поими с собою вся мужы воинския, и востав взыди в Гай: се, предах в руце твои царя Гайска и землю его, и люди его и град его:
AND the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:
2 и да сотвориши Гаю и царю его, якоже сотворил еси Иерихону и царю его: и плен его и скоты его да плениши себе: устрой же себе подсаду граду за собою.
And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it.
3 И воста Иисус и вси мужие воинстии, да внидут в Гай: и избра Иисус тридесять тысящ мужей воинских сильных крепостию и посла их нощию,
So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them away by night.
4 и заповеда им, глаголя: вы скрыйтеся за градом: не далече будите от града зело, и будите вси готови:
And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, even behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:
5 аз же и вси людие иже со мною приступим ко граду: и будет егда изыдут живущии в Гаи в сретение нам, якоже и прежде, и побегнем от лица их:
And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,
6 и егда изыдут вслед нас, отторгнем их от града: и рекут: бежат сии от лица нашего, якоже и прежде:
(For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we will flee before them.
7 вы же востанете от подсады, и пойдете во град, и предаст его Господь Бог наш в руце ваши:
Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for the Lord your God will deliver it into your hand.
8 и будет егда возмете град, запалите его огнем, по словеси сему сотворите: се, заповедаю вам.
And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the Lord shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.
9 И посла их Иисус, и идоша в подсаду: и седоша между Вефилем и между Гаием, от моря Гаиа.
Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
10 И востав Иисус заутра, согляда люди: и взыде сам и старцы Израилтестии пред людьми в Гай.
And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
11 И вси людие воинстии с ним взыдоша, и идуще приидоша сопротив града от востоков: и подсады града от моря.
And all the people, even the people of war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between them and Ai.
12 И ополчишася от севера Гаиа, и (бысть) дебрь между ими и между Гаием. И взя яко пять тысящ мужей, и положи их на подсаду между Вефилем и Гаием от запада Гаиа.
And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of the city.
13 И поставиша людие весь полк от севера града, а прочая его от моря града. И пойде Иисус в нощь ону посреде дебри.
And when they had set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
14 И бысть егда увиде царь Гайский, потщася, и воста рано и изыде в сретение им прямо на брань, сам и вси людие его с ним во время, пред лицем подсады: он же не ведяше, яко подсада ему есть за градом (его).
And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain; but he wist not that there were liers in ambush against him behind the city.
15 И увиде, и отиде Иисус и весь люд от лица их, и побеже путем пустыни,
And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
16 и укрепися весь люд гнати вслед их, и погнаша вслед сынов Израилевых, и отступиша от града.
And all the people that were in Ai were called together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
17 (И) не остася никтоже в Гаи и Вефили, иже не погна вслед Израиля: и оставиша град отверст, и гнаша вслед Израиля.
And there was not a man left in Ai or Beth-el, that went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
18 И рече Господь ко Иисусу: простри руку твою с копием, еже в руце твоей, на град, зане в руку твою предах его: и подсады востанут вскоре от места своего. И простре Иисус руку свою и с копием на град.
And the Lord said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city.
19 И подсады восташа скоро от места своего: и изыдоша, егда простре руку, и внидоша во град, и взяша его: и потщавшеся запалиша град огнем.
And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire.
20 И озревшеся обитатели Гайстии вспять себе, узреша дым восходящь от града до небесе, и ктому не имеша камо побегнути, семо или овамо: людие же бегущии в пустыню обратишася на гонящих.
And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.
21 Иисус же и весь Израиль увидеша, яко взяша подсады град, и яко восходит дым градный до небесе: и обратившеся избиша мужей Гайских.
And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.
22 И сии изыдоша из града противу им, и быша посреде полка Израилева, сии отсюду и сии отюнуду: и избиша их, дондеже не остася ни един от них цел, ни убежа.
And the other issued out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.
23 И царя Гайска яша жива, и приведоша его ко Иисусу.
And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
24 И бысть егда престаша сынове Израилевы секуще всех сущих в Гаи и сущих на полях и на горе исхода, идеже гониша их, и падоша вси острием меча на ней до конца: и обратися Иисус в Гай и посече их мечем.
And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
25 И быша вси падшии в той день от мужеска полу и до женска дванадесять тысящ, вси живущии в Гаи.
And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.
26 Иисус же не обрати руки своея, юже простре с копием, дондеже прокля всех обитающих в Гаи.
For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
27 Кроме скотов (их) и имения, яже во граде онем, вся плениша себе сынове Израилевы по повелению Господню, якоже повеле Господь Иисусу.
Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the Lord which he commanded Joshua.
28 И запали град Иисус огнем: землю необитаему во век положи его даже до сего дне.
And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day.
29 И царя Гайска повеси на древе сугубем: и бяше на древе до вечера: и заходящу солнцу повеле Иисус, и сняша тело его с древа, и повергоша и в ров пред враты града: и насыпа над ним громаду велику камения даже до сего дне.
And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide: and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day.
30 Тогда созда Иисус олтарь Господу Богу Израилеву на горе Гевал,
Then Joshua built an altar unto the Lord God of Israel in mount Ebal,
31 якоже заповеда Моисей раб Господень сыном Израилевым, и якоже написася в законе Моисеове, олтарь от камений всецелых, на нихже не возложися железо: и вознесе тамо всесожжения Господу и жертву спасения.
As Moses the servant of the Lord commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lift up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the Lord, and sacrificed peace offerings.
32 И написа Иисус на камениих вторый закон, закон Моисеов, егоже написа пред сыны Израилевыми.
And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
33 И весь Израиль, и старцы их и судии их и книгочия их предходяху сюду и сюду пред кивотом, и жерцы и левити воздвизаша кивот завета Господня, пришелец же и туземец: иже быша половина их близ горы Гаризин, и половина их близ горы Гевал, якоже заповеда Моисей раб Господень благословити людий Израилевых в первых.
And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.
34 И по сих тако прочте Иисус вся словеса закона сего, благословения и клятвы, по всему написанному в законе Моисеове.
And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
35 Не бяше словесе от всех, яже заповеда Моисей Иисусу, егоже не прочте Иисус во уши всего сонма сынов Израилевых, мужем и женам, и детем и пришелцем приходящым ко Израилю.
There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.
